2 channel amp and LSiC

[maximillian]

Can someone help me out in driving an LSiC? I currently do not have a 3 channel amp but do have a spare Adcom 535L amp. Can I use this amp to drive the LSiC by itself? If so, is the best way to hook it up is to bi-amp the LSiC, i.e. split the center channel input to the L-R inputs of the amp, then connect the L and R outputs of the amp to one of the posts of the LSiC (removing the jumper). Would this work, and work well?

Thanks

Yes that would work well.

Yes that would work well.

I agree. By the way what are you running for the front right and left speakers?

Front end speakers are LSi9's currently being run off of the 535L. I will be replacing the 535L with a Rotel RB-980bx that I just bought off of the FM. I thought that the Adcom would work with the LSiC, with the possible issue that the Rotel is rated at twice the power of the Adcom at 4 Ohms. Therefore the receiver will have to compensate. Is this too much power difference that a receiver can't compensate?

I just want to make sure that my setup with work well enough for 1-3 years until I upgrade again. I don't play music/HT loud since it is in a small-to-medium sized room.

Thanks
